Journal Entry: Into The Hobby of Fragrances (Part 2)
It's on the heavier side which means I might have to retire it during the warmer weather, but it'll be coming back for sure! Lancôme - Idôle (travel size): Since I loved Idôle Aura so much, I had to test the original and settle which one I'd add to my collection (I don't want too many OGs and their flankers because of my limited space). I sprayed it on once (and loved it so far),...

Rituals... A Turkish Bath & Hammam in Istanbul
the essence. I know that the verb to savour means to enjoy a food or drink by holding it in your mouth to taste it for a long time and make the sensation more pleasant, but the art of savouring the world with your nose is a unique and indescribable experience. That said, I went through all the tags one by one, focusing on the ones whose notes sounded good on my strings. Although...

Vintage talks and reason walks...
of her/his merchandise is her/his job and not mine? On the other hand, I've happened on shop owners who had put a 100€ price tag sticker over the initial 20€ one, cause it seems that they did their homework and searched a bit online. Or even worse, I've seen fragrances with two different price tags on them. One in euros and one in drachmas. They obviously didn't bother to remove the drachmas'...

Just a "g" or "b" away...
potent current formulation. Isn't Old Spice one of the best masculine fragrances of all time? It is to me. All of these fragrances, whether expensive or cheap, stood the test of time, some of them for near a century. So what's with all these discriminations? Would it still be the same if the price tags were reversed? If Tosca had the price of Mitsouko, could it be that Tosca would be the one considered...

Niche, yes. But what about nice?
something you don't see everywhere". So is Acteur and Arrogance Uomo. Are they niche fragrances? "Rare and hard to find". I sense an attempt of covertly passing a message here. "Rare and hard to find" are keywords which are paving the way for the outrageous price tags that many niche houses put on their products. Cause something "rare and hard to find" can't be either cheap or reasonably priced,...

My Complicated Relationship with Florals
which seems to come ever so rarely. I don't seem to get on so well with Dior's Poison either. I guess I love tuberose in oil form or in Versace's Blonde, which is utterly divine for me. Other than that, I have problems with fragrances centered around the musk note (like Avon's Soft Musk, TBS White Musk, or Narciso Rodrigues for Her) despite I like musk in Indian attars. I will never be the person...
